[lug] Email Services

[Chip Atkinson]

If you want a truly static home IP, you could go with Comcast business. 
I used them in the past.  However, I'd recommend someone to do the 
hosting.  For my provider, I pay $35/quarter.  When I was hosting my own 
server at home, I paid ~$50/month extra for electricity.
